I'm using the pro version. Works every time for downloading.. It's fast too.I loved MacTubes but it would work one day and then not the next. Elmedia has been rock solid every time. The interface is not as user friendly as the layout is awkward but it does the job so I can live with that.

As a veteran in the battle to kill off FAKE and COERCED MacKeeper reviews, let me point this out:

How many of the 4 and 5 star reviews here for Elmedia Player are from people who've reviewed here before? Look down the reviews thread. How many of the reviews are from newbies?
